Doom metal led with bewitching female vocals isn't a new idea, but between the likes of Windhand, SubRosa and Demon Lung, the form is having a banner year. Add Uzala to that roster: On the new Tales of Blood & Fire, the Boise crew does an excellent job of giving Darcy Nutt space to serenade before saturating the space with twin-guitar roar. For this stacked bill, the similarly looming-and-soaring Mount Salem opens, as well as Mike Scheidt, the Yob and Vhöl frontman who released an acoustic trifle on Thrill Jockey last year. Demon Eye, an exciting new crew of Raleigh metal classicists, headlines.
